Craig Ferguson Late Late Show in Scotland: Arbroath Abbey with Alex Salmond interview

[RecQuery]

Craig Ferguson (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Late_Late_Show_with_Craig_Ferguson) is a fairly well known talk show host in the US, he's doing a weeks worth of shows in Scotland and this was one of the segments:

Which ones the comedian ?

According the choob there's 50 million Scots descendants around the world, so on that basis is there 500 million English? Or 10 billion Chinese, etc. I was pleased to see he went back to his old job at the end of the video.

"Guardian of Scotland"!.......I like that title!
I think Alex came across as very committed to looking after Scotland and it's people......No matter what Nationality they are!!
Scotland has to be in the blood, whether that is by birth, by a love for the country, by accident or a country you chose to go and live in!

If you love Scotland for whatever reason then Independence is the only way forward!

(Right, I will now await for the abuse to start)!!!

C3..............:)

I fear the abuse has already started. It's a pavlovian response at this point with some people. They just sound bitter and resentful, I find their festering impotent rage quite funny actually. Attacking the person always weakens your position as far as I'm concerned - you can't argue on merit therefore you have to attack a person who represents the position you dislike.

You should be able to find the rest of the shows and segments from that link the guy is doing a week of them I think, they're all worth looking at.

I'm in the US and Craig Ferguson is my favourite late night talk show host. If you watch complete shows on the CBS site, note that his monologue (which always starts with "It's a great day for America") is completely ad-libbed. None of the others, some of whom have been doing this stuff for 25+ years, have the nerve to try that. Also Jeff the gay skeleton/robot thing is the funniest thing on TV. :lol:

So if you don't want to break up the UK you can't love Scotland? That is why I don't like the Nat's rhetoric.

Doesn't work like that.
